Bicycling in the United States pales in comparison to other countries. Especially in areas built after World War II, land use and transportation infrastructure do not support bicycling. Changing this dynamic can be frustratingly slow, making it difficult to justify spending on bicycling. As with many systems, the benefits of incremental change are small, and it is only when the system or network is complete that dramatic change occurs.

Denver's Community Transportation Network program seeks to demonstrate the value of bicycling infrastructure by implementing quick-build, low-stress bikeways in an entire neighborhood. The Colorado Convention Center is within one of those neighborhoods — Five Points. Get practical insights and proven strategies for planning and designing quick-build, high-comfort bikeways.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify key design elements that contribute to high-comfort bikeways and apply those principles to diverse urban settings.
  • Learn how Denver’s Community Transportation Network and strategic interventions like the "Denver Wedge" create spaces that feel safer and more comfortable for bicyclists.
  • Leverage community feedback and data-driven decision-making to adapt and modify bikeway designs.
